I've done a search but can't seem to find any threads about Inception - am I the only one who's seen it and reeeeeeeally wants to talk about the plot, the twists and turns and spoilers there-in?
Well darn it I'm just going to start on my own. Stop here if you haven't seen it yet!
I loved it; I won't claim it's perfection and I won't claim to have understood it on as many levels as you probably can, but it was a jolly good couple of hours of entertainment and various concepts and ideas have been swirling around in my brain ever since. I loved the visuals, I loved the layers of dreams within dreams, I loved the hypnic jerk concept of the "kick" waking yourself up, I loved Joseph Gordon-Levitt's graceful anti-gravity maneuvering and I always have time for Cillian Murphy's cheekbones. I also loved the inconclusive ending, although I hate Christopher Nolan for doing it at the same time. The man is really good at what he does and effortlessly makes my brain turn to mush.
Niggles are that Ellen Page was a bit of a "cabbage" in her position as the audience proxy being introduced to everything for the first time - I heard her described as the film's walking FAQ and that was a little heavyhanded, but to be fair there was a lot to explain in a short space of time so they could get to the action. I felt her character could have been fleshed out a little more to make her seem less like a conduit for explaination. And in a very shallow fashion I'm a bit annoyed that they bundled everyone up in very unflattering ski-suits for the last dream, when they'd all been in such yummy suits in the hotel. Don't cover up the assets unecessarily!
I really want to go and see it again...
